just got back from maxis centre klcc...
they mentioned no such thing...

i tested it out in their old stock 3gs..it works fine can change any apn for data..under setting->general->network->cellular data->apn

however i requested to try on their new refreshed 32gb stocks they said cant try unless purchased first..

but the iphone staffs there said its fully unlock just like the old stock 32gb...which contradicts with what the ttdi guys said...

now i am really confused..

however i have booked a 16gb 3gs...they said max 45days but this time around should be 2-4 weeks...no deposit required..
if want 32gb can get on the spot..

so can anyone confirmed the new refreshed stock for 16 or 32gb is it fully unlock like previous stock??

but the ttdi guys are saying its data lock...however i cant test it on the new stocks..

guys, fyi, i gotten my black 32g 3gs at gardens on the spot. they have ready stocks for both black and white. earlier i have already booked at klcc, and was told needed around 3-4 weeks. called up my friend who works at maxis, the best he can give me a new set would be next week. on fri, went for walk at gardens, passed by maxis, thought of kacauing the sales person, then they told me that they have ready stocks for 32g. din even bother thinking twice, paid and took the phone right away..

hey congrats, sooenson!!

can u help me also to check if the APN for data access can be changed in ur new refreshed stock?

Probably it's another tactic by maxis to clear all the 32GB stocks first before releasing the 16GB.
*
according to them the 32gb is a new refreshed stock...

i think its not a tactic by maxis but probably by apple...

when they clear up all the 32gb, then can then clear the 16gb..as most ppl will choose the 16gb...
so i think they purposely tempt those who want an iphone but dont have the patience to wait and so they will gobble up the 32gb stock!

so can anyone let me know if the new stock can change APN ? i have been asking this since last week..sigh...

OMG so its really true..

that is what the TTDI maxis centre guys said..u cant change the APN !!

that means its unlocked for voice and sms, but locked for data usage (means cant mms also)

pls dun make others worry... actually all maxis iphone 3gs no matter wat batch, u can't manage to c ur cellular network menu.. cz all iphone in malaysia is distributed by maxis, so when they take the iphone from apple, they already set something on it.. to disable the menu. (tis is wat i heard) bt it's nt means tat ur phone is locked. by disable the cellular network menu, one can't view or change their apn cz it's auto set to maxis carrier. unless u change ur simcard to other carrier (eg.. digi or celcom). by tat time ur menu will shown.

tat's y u heard alot of cases tat even those who sign up for data plan or contract ivalue.. their bill shoot up to a few hundreds.. tis is because iphone is such a smartphone.. will cause u to use up ur data even when u r on wifi.. (when ur wifi signal is weak) thn it will auto route to ur data without u noticing it.. unless u enable the cellular menu n change ur apn. (enable the menu doesn't mean we JB the phone. two different things).. once again.. wat is the point of changing the apn since most of the ppl who use iphone/smartphone to on9 everywhere. unless u dun plan to sign up any data plan..

hope tis clear up some of the queries n doubts tat u guys encounter lately.. smile.gif
*
i think you are wrong...

if you go to klcc maxis centre and request to use their test unit and put in any other sim card besides maxis...the cellular network menu will appear..
i know this cause i asked one of the promoter to let me try..and he let me do it...and from there i can change the apn and can change the mms settings...
bear in mind i tested it on the old stock which is a test unit...

when i asked if i can test on the new unit..he said cant test until buy...

why we need change apn?
of coz we want use iphone to surf net etc..but not all using maxis..
u need change the apn to access diffrent telco data network..like for digi 3g u nd change it to diginet (apn) to be able to access the data...

wat do u mean by "i tried on the test unit at maxis klcc..no custom telco carrier logo..it just shows digi..and even that it can also change the apn..."??

telco carrier logo is change by ourself (using the step provided in tis forum). it won't show until u copy the file thru itunes into ur phone. u mention tat it show digi n can change the apn?? since u say can change so ?? i dun really get wat u mean tho

i kno wat the use of apn... my phone gt show up the cellular network data menu (tat list out the data apn n mms apn) after i put my carrier logo. hw can u can't try on it when u haven't gt ur phone to put the file??

Added on December 22, 2009, 12:30 pmof cz they won't tell u tat u can change the APN... (they work under Maxis) definitely they wan customer to buy the phone wif their package rite? in fact my phone come wif APN disable as well.. means tat u won't be able to c the cellular data network menu.
*
okay..what i mean is that when i tried to insert digi sim card into the test unit there at klcc..(which the staff allowed)..it automatically show the words DIGI once it got registered to the network..but the logo not there...

even without the logo , but only the word DIGI showing...i can change the apn also...i didnt use the file to change the logo...


ok to clear things up, just now i tested using maxis sim into one of my frens 3g model (not 3gs)
when using maxis simcard..the cellular network data not avail

and when i change to digi simcard..the cellular network data is avail to be changed...

I keep on repeating d same answer.I think u still dun get wat I mean tho.I mention earlier in my previous post.only when u use maxis iPhone cellular network menu will b disable.other telco won't cz in Msia iPhone is distribute by maxis n they ask apple 2 disable d apn 2 auto apn.since most of d customer oso use maxis package.they no need 2 change apn unless outright purchase.only when u use maxis line thn ur iPhone haf 2 set d telco logo und?I hope tis clear ur doubts
*
yes thank u now i get it..

1) meaning if outright purchase set when i use other simcard like digi the cellular network menu will show...
and if i use maxis the menu wont show..

2) and if its contract..the menu wont show even if i put in digi sim card unless i change the telco logo...

is this correct?
